HI! I remember that trip. Richie died about 15 years ago. I received a call that he was in the hospital dying. No-one knows what happened. He came to see me 3 months earlier in L.A. and we had made some big plans for the future. We all flew to Tucson and he lasted about 3 weeks, but was unconscious, except for once when the drugs wore off. Not a good idea to be in a small town when you need expert medical help. They could have done something, but were too incapable of knowing what to do. We should have flown him to L.A., but we were so freaked...not thinking clearly. He asked no-one for help. I miss him terribly. It's great to hear from you. I hope you are well!. That was a fun visit for me. L.A. is a terrible place to live with no family....very hard. I was going to Ireland to ride horses, but I think I will go to Switzerland instead. WOW I have one friend on this site. I am being ignored......I'm a little flash for Ireland I guess. Good to hear from you. If you get to Las Vegas give me a call. We can get together up on the Strip for coffee or something.. I'm listed. MARY
